Just wanted to drop a note of explanation in case I have made any messes lately regarding target related service.

Three weeks ago I was diagnosed with what appeared to be an advanced fast groweing malignant melanome tumor on the side of my head. It was removed in one surgery, then after waiting for pathology report more tissue was removed along with a lymph node (for pathology). The side of my head has been reconstructed, grafted, etc and is healing. The area involved was approaching th esize of a tennis ball when all ws done that was deemed necessary. Path. report I got yesterday was that there was no trace of malignancy in either the lymph node nor in the additional margin tissue which was removed. Good news! However, due to the advanced level of the tumor it was deemed best to get a second opinion on results of the tests. Some further treatment (chemo, radiation, etc) may await me but will be a small price to pay. A couple more all-clears may be necessary for Jane and i to really breathe easy.

We offer our most sincere thanks for prayers offered. If i have dropped the ball regarding any target orders in the meantime, please let me know and try to be patient while I get back to business.

Respectfully

Don Howe

The Frog sends his best (this time from Budapest, Hungary.)  I too am pleased to hear the positive tone of your report.  You will stay in my thoughts and prayers, my friend.

Regards and good will,
